Gun Salutes
Join us at Edinburgh Castle for a number of gun salutes throughout 2023.
We will be hosting a series of gun salutes to mark special occasions. Each gun salute unless otherwise stated takes place at 12 noon. There will also be a ceremonial guard mount on some of the dates (see scheduled dates for details).
Please be aware that we are currently implementing some new measures with the Ministry of Defence in relation to the viewing of the One O’clock Gun. As part of this, visitors are asked to please arrive at the new marked areas at least 10 minutes before the firing of the gun.
Please be advised that we will limit access to some areas during gun salutes and ceremonial guard mount.
